Have added a very bare bones printout object and changed the code to call wx.printer (and printpreview) now. Also changed toolbar code to just call the parent printer code (not sure why id did not do so already).
It is a bit ugly but works from PC installer … but printout object is clearly not properly formatted for the mac (it does go to the printer and print preview pages .. but has a blank page). Also I note there is some "printer setup" code which cannot possibly work but which I don't see being called (in a quick look through)

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
There remains a problem with the mac but the print does give a printout though the its preview seems to be lacking. The sasview print preview is clearly blank (never tried to print from there but suspect it will work). Mathieu has been removed the SasView print preview option from the menu for now but the code to do it remains. Should look at this since after the release but will close this ticket now and open an appropriate ticket for the mac print preview
Looks like matplot lib messed us over again. In fact apparently it no longer supports printing direcly at all and all printing will need to be through wx native printing. thus FigureCanvas.Printer_Print and Printer_Preview have been removed (apparently deprecated since 2010?)
Looking at using the wxPrintout framework
